About

Dr. Sanjeet V. Rangarajan is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose work centers on the intersection of robotic surgery and complex oncologic and skull base pathologies. His most impactful contribution, the 2013 study on the transoral robotic approach to carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP), has garnered 103 citations and fundamentally reshaped diagnostic paradigms for this challenging condition. By demonstrating that robotic surgery can reliably identify occult primary tumors while minimizing morbidity, Dr. Rangarajan provided a powerful alternative to traditional, more invasive workups. He has since extended this expertise into the domains of sinus and skull base surgery, authoring key papers on the role of robotics in treating sinonasal and ventral skull base malignancies. His innovative work also includes a robotic-assisted approach to the ventral craniovertebral junction, showcasing the versatility of TORS beyond oropharyngeal lesions into spinal pathology. Through these contributions, Dr. Rangarajan has established himself as a leading voice in minimally invasive head and neck oncology, consistently pushing the boundaries of what robotic techniques can achieve in anatomically challenging regions.
